HealthTrust presents…“Getting the Knack of NAC: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in Acute Liver Injury”

The presenters will evaluate and discuss current literature supporting NAC in nonacetaminophen-associated liver injuries.

1. Recall the major types of acute liver injury and common etiologies.
2. Identify mechanism of action and treatment recommendations for N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in acute liver injury.
3. Recognize evidence-based recommendations for the use of NAC in non-acetaminophen-induced liver injury.

Learning Objectives for Pharmacy Techs  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Recall the indications for use N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in liver injury patients.
2. Recognize the appropriate dosing schedules and preparations of NAC.
